My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The location was amazing, right in front of The Rock restaurant with lovely views, and the rooms, while visited frequently by staff and with some issues like unlocked doors, were equipped with air conditioning. The service was generally great but a bit slow at times. The dining experience was delicious and worth it. However, the peacefulness of the evenings and mornings was compromised by noise issues, mainly due to shared premises. Overall, a decent stay with some improvements needed.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully designed with custom-made furniture using timber from old boats, a large bed, and a glass wall offering a stunning view of the ocean. However, they are in serious need of a refurbishment. The private villa with a balcony was a nice touch.
